Wetlands on masked, sponged background

In need of a quick but effective birthday card (February seems to be a very busy month for birthdays!), I made this. What I like about it most is that it's suitable for both genders!

An easy but effective single layer card - I used Shimmery White card

I simply masked off part of the card (in this case half of it) with some scrap paper and sponged on the colours. I used shimmery white cardstock because it has a good weight for a single layer card but is also a very nice surface for sponging and watercolouring.

I started with Pear Pizzazz at the bottom then blended in some Sahara Sand followed by Soft Sky. Then I brought some Marina Mist down from the top and added a tiny bit of Mossy Meadow to the bottom.

Having removed the mask, I then stamped the images from Wetlands with Archival Black ink. I used a Stamp-a-ma-jig to get the positioning exactly as I wanted it.
